AI gods and the Midnight Train

As the lines between our digital tools and our human connections continue to blur, have you stopped to consider what it really means to keep your soul in an increasingly automated world? In this episode, I am handing over the microphone to a familiar voice, Chase Cortell, to explore the fascinating and slightly unsettling reality of our relationship with technology. We often find ourselves treating AI like a person, offering polite greetings and gratitude to our digital assistants. But is there a hidden cost to this emotional investment? This episode looks at the “AI Trap” and the importance of maintaining our humanity in a world where software feels increasingly real. Key Takeaways from this episode: Why we should treat AI as a tool rather than an emotional companion. The subtle ways we get “trapped” into digital relationships. A reflective journey through “Midnight Train” exploring the autumn of life. How to stay grounded as a true “Earthling” in a high-tech society.
